Relationship Between Acceptance-Test Reliability and Operational Reliability,

Abstract

This report describes an investigation of the relationships between equipment reliability estimates as measured during manufacturer's reliability demonstration testing and as measured under operational conditions. The study documented in this report indicated that there is a definite relationship between airborne equipment reliability estimates as measured during AGREE testing and as measured under operational conditions. This is the first time that such a relationship has been established by data from as many different equipments (18) as were used in this study. The results indicate -- with a data correlation of 0.81 -- that the relationship between operational MTBF and AGREE-test MTBF may not be 1-to-1.
